Removing solvy

AlisonB · February 14th, 2011, 01:58 AM

When you embroider on t-shirts and use solvy topping how do you remove the little bits that stay behind after you pull most of it away?
Do you wash and press the shirt?
Do you sit there picking out the little pieces?
Do you tell the customer it will disappear after the first wash?
I do not keep shirts - everything is brought in by the customer.

In a pinch you can use a wet paper towel or coffee filter and dab the solvy. I personally use a steamer and that takes care of it.

i pick out what i can from tweezers, then the rest i just use a wet washcloth and press it down (not scrub). If you use it alot, a steamer might be a good investment.
